Which brings us to poor John Auville. After a week of pseudo respectability where he successfully picked nine games, Cakes is brining up the rear once again. Actually, it’s not even Cakes who is doing the picking.

It’s the fickle coin of fate. Yes, he’s literally flipping a coin to pick each game.

When the coin said the Jacksonville Jaguars would get their first win of the season, Cakes said, “you’re damn right they will.”

Only they didn’t.

When the coin said the Detroit Lions would managed to topple the Green Bay Packers, Cakes said, “Giddyup.”

Only they didn’t either.

And so he’s in the basement, but undeterred. In speaking with him Monday morning, Cakes was ready to press on.
